Description:

For over a decade beginning in 1978, Lila Abu-Lughod lived, on and off, in the small Awlad 'Ali Bedouin community in Egypt. She witnessed striking changes, both cultural and economic, and she recorded the stories of the women. This edition is updated with a new preface by the author. She argues for the special urgency in today's polarized world of using knowledge of the particular lives of others to counter general images of "the Muslim woman" and to bring nuance and substance to feminist debates about culture and rights.

Ahmad H. Sa'di is a senior lecturer in the Department of Politics and Government at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. He has published widely on political, social, and economic aspects of the lives of Palestinians in Israel.Lila Abu-Lughod is professor of anthropology and gender studies at Columbia University. Her books include Veiled Sentiments: Honor and Poetry in a Bedouin Society, Writing Women's Worlds: Bedouin Stories, and Dramas of Nationhood: The Politics of Television in Egypt.
